Star Wars’ Real Lightsaber Is the Only Disney Thing Without a Price

Hey, you do not forget that superior lightsaber Disney revealed that regarded just like the laser blade was really igniting and lengthening? Like a dad or mum to a small baby reaching for a pair of sharp scissors, Disney has stated, “Only Daddy touch.” Meaning the corporate will not be going to supply them to the general public, even when you’re going to the stupid-expensive Galactic Starcruiser Star Wars LARP lodge.

In truth, the one method you’ll ever be capable of get your palms on one is to get employed as an actor on the Galaxy’s Edge part of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida—particularly as a Jedi—since they’ll be the one ones allowed to hold them, in response to statements made by Scott Thornbridge, the Portfolio Creative Executive of Disney Imagineering, throughout an interview with Gamespot. This means on the lightsaber coaching expertise out there to visitors of the Galactic Starcruiser, they’ll be holding conventional toy lightsabers with non-retracting blades.

Although Disney’s beneath no obligation to make the “real” lightsabers out there to buy, and it by no means technically introduced that they might be, this nonetheless sort of sucks? Everyone misplaced their minds after they had been revealed earlier this yr, as a result of each Star Wars fan has dreamed of wielding a working lightsaber from the second they noticed their first film. To tease followers like that, with out concurrently notifying those who they’re not going to be purchasable, is genuinely sort of merciless. Maybe Disney didn’t know on the time it wasn’t going to have the ability to promote them, however the firm is scuzzy sufficient that it’s fully believable that it deliberately misled individuals in an effort to drive individuals to e book reservations for Galaxy’s Edge and rooms on the lodge (which at the moment has a four-month waitlist).

The actual query is, why isn’t the eternally money-hungry Disney promoting them? They can’t be harmful, or the park’s actors wouldn’t be allowed to hold them round parkgoers. Maybe they’re prohibitively costly to make, however there are virtually definitely loads of followers prepared to pay upwards of $1,000 to have the ability to personal a working lightsaber. Or perhaps Disney is whipping customers right into a frenzy to drive demand when it will definitely does make the lightsabers out there on the market. I imply, I simply can’t think about the corporate leaving this huge pile of cash on the desk.

Time will inform, however for now? Only Daddy contact.
